Working in Leyland

As well as Leyland itself (PR25 and PR26), we survey in Chorley, Preston and Horwich.

In Leyland, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Leyland bathroom has a cold tiled floor and no room for a bigger radiator, an electric mat under new tiles is the simplest answer. Where a Leyland home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric.

Most of Lancashire is supplied with soft water. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
For wet systems, pipes in low-profile boards or screed connected to a manifold or single-zone kit, with any boiler work done by a Gas Safe registered engineer

Decisions to make first

Floor heating and towel rail

Underfloor heating warms the room; a towel rail dries towels. Many bathrooms have both, and a dual-fuel rail keeps working in summer when the boiler is off.

Mat or loose cable

Mats are quickest on square, open floors. Loose cable is easier to route around awkward shapes, pipe boxing and a curved shower area.

Rules that apply in England

In England, a new circuit for underfloor heating is notifiable under Part P, and so is connecting it to an existing circuit in a room with a bath or shower. The electrician either self-certifies through a competent person scheme or the work is notified to building control.

More about underfloor heating

Underfloor heating in Leyland: questions

How much should I budget for bathroom underfloor heating in Leyland?

Bathroom underfloor heating in Leyland usually costs £650–£2,400 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Leyland really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover PR25 and PR26 in Leyland?

Yes. We cover all of Leyland, including PR25 and PR26, and nearby Chorley, Preston and Horwich. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Leyland?

Does underfloor heating raise the floor height?

Yes, a little. An electric mat on an insulation board usually adds roughly 10 mm before the adhesive and tile, which matters at the door threshold. Wet systems in low-profile boards add more, and screeded systems more again.
